FOURNIVAL,  RICHARD  DE.  La  Vielle  ou  les  dernieres  Amours  d'Ovide. 
Poe'me  francais  du  xive  siecle.  Traduit  du  Latin  de  Richard  de 
Fournival  par  Jean  Lefevre.  Publi£  pour  la  premiere  fois  et  pre"- 
ce'de'  de  recherches  sur  1'auteur  du  Vetula  par  Hippolyte  Cocheris.

A  translation  of  "  De  Vetula  "  by  Richard  de  Fournival ;  a  Latin  poem 
of  the  fourteenth  century.  The  passage  treating  of  fishing  is  headed, 
"Comment  Ovide  tendait  aux  Poissons." 

"Ovid  appears  to  have  been  rather  universal  in  his  fishing.  He  took 
tribute  from  sea  and  river,  and  despised  neither  conger  eel  nor  'logger- 
headed  '  chub.  De  Fournival's  work  cannot  but  be  interesting  to  the  angling 
bibliophile,  as  showing  that  more  than  four  hundred  years  ago  most  of  the 
modern  modes  of  fishing  were  practised  :  bottom  fishing,  for  instance ;  the 
worm,  the  fly,  the  torch  and  spear,  the  night-line,  the  eel  basket  and  fork, 
&c.,  &c." —  T.  Westwood.

in  his  Diary  he  states:  "This  day  Mr.  Caesar  told  me  a  pretty  experiment

swelling,  and  is  beyond  any  hair  for  strength  and  smallness.  The  secret  I
